I'm (not) Lovin' It!

Now that McDonald's has started listing nutritional information (in English and Spanish) on its food packaging, the Chicago Sun Times went to the street to find out what people had to say about it. My absolute favorite response was from Stacy Coleman, data entry, 34:
"This is McDonald's. You don't really look for nutrition at McDonald's."

She's got a point, you know - especially considering that a Big Mac is 560 Calories and has a whopping 42% of the recommended daily intake of Sodium. (According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.)

Another great response was from Yvonne Johnson, bank representative, 45:

"I suppose if you're cutting calories but ... a fry is a fry. It's still basically calories."

And how do those fries weigh in? Well, a medium - which is Mickey-Dee-speak for "small" - has 350 Calories and 25% of the recommended daily intake of Fat. (Again, according to the USFDA.)So, now that you know all that, where are you going for lunch?!

I'm heading over to Panera Bread - may be high in carbs, but their "hi" in smiles too.
